Title: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: doodleface on January 21, 2009, 11:16:37 AM I was curious if anyone could give me suggestions for a good book to learn assembly for x86 from scratch. An at my own pace kind of self teaching book would be wonderful. Thanks for all your suggestions.
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: g00d_4sh on January 21, 2009, 12:13:25 PM I'm curious on this question as well. I am currently doing some C++ and perl.. but I hope to get into Assembly myself soon.
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: NickFnord on January 21, 2009, 12:48:55 PM I'd highly recommend the free guides available on the net. I mentioned two good ones here:
http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,3025.msg14168/#msg14168 Art of Assembly Language Programming (http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/index.html) PC Assembly Language (http://www.drpaulcarter.com/pcasm/) I'd also recommend getting the Intel Architecture manuals http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ you can download them for free or if you are really into it (or just want to show your friends how nerdy you are) they actually mail the hard copies out to you for free. (yes, I have them and refer to them occasionally.) Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: doodleface on January 21, 2009, 01:22:11 PM Awesome suggestions. Thank you very much.
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: Darknight on May 02, 2009, 02:09:06 PM Am really very new so dunno much about anything but can sum1 tell me which is the best assembler and disassembler for a noob like me to use?? :'( ???
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: NickFnord on May 03, 2009, 05:11:27 AM they're not usually the same thing - what are you trying to achieve?
a disassembler is often combined with a debugger (as in the case of OllyDbg or IDAPro), but sometimes you can get no frills dissassemblers like objdump or windbg, which will just output the straight dissassembly with no extra functionality. on the other side, if you're writing assembly, you can use most C compilers and place in-line assembly wherever you want to. but if you really want to write purely and only in assembly language, there are quite a few available. I use NASM, which assembles and disassembles (using the ndisasm command). does that help at all?

Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: former33t on May 03, 2009, 07:30:10 PM I used "Assembly Language For Intel Based Computers" in my udergrad course. I can vouch for it being good to teach yourself since the instructor was a "sub in" and really didn't have a firm grasp of it himself (beyond the slides someone else had prepared).
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: Darknight on May 05, 2009, 12:06:01 AM Thanks it does help!
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: quan991 on May 25, 2009, 11:32:41 PM These 2 books are very in depth & cover just about everything (and then some):
http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Assembly-Language-Computer-Architecture/dp/0763717738 http://www.amazon.com/Assembly-Language-Intel-Based-Computers-5th/dp/0132383101 Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: shakuni on July 09, 2009, 11:54:59 AM Go for Wrox Professional Assembly Language (based on GAS, but the concepts are same) and Intel Manuals.
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: hayabusa on July 09, 2009, 12:09:18 PM Yeah, the Intel manuals are great, and unless something's changed since I got mine, you can get them free through download, or dirt cheap to buy...
Title: Re: Good Book for learning Assembly Post by: UNIX on July 09, 2009, 12:17:46 PM I don't know if it is still possible but you could not only get it free through downloading but they deliver(ed) them also in printed form for free.
